Cao Thief

Chapter 51 Sense of Crisis (22)

ps: Geng University is in Nanning, a certain representative updated it, so it's late, don't blame it...

In many cases, you have to be there to feel the reality.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Yiyang military soldiers are a team, an invincible warrior who is extremely united and everyone is twisted into a rope.But on the second day after Cao Peng came to Yiyang Tun, he clearly felt that there seemed to be a huge hidden danger in Yiyang Tun as well.

"Brother Tang, Wei Dubo is the younger brother of General Wei Tun?"

Deng Ji and Wei Yan were not in the camp, and they handled their own affairs.

As a servant, it is necessary to ensure the timely supply of food, salaries and supplies.In this regard, Deng Ji undoubtedly has a huge advantage.He has worked as an official in Jiyang County all year round, and he is very sensitive to data and other things.So on the first day he took office, he discovered the huge flaws in Yiyangtun.For example, the soldiers' weapons have not been repaired for a long time and must be replaced; when spring comes, the soldiers' armor also needs to be changed.At the same time, the dilapidated black jacket was hard to withstand the chill of the spring night and needed to be replaced.

According to Wei Yan's statement, Yiyangtun has not received a new outfit for a year!
On the one hand, it was because Wei Yan didn't understand these things, and on the other hand, it was because of the embezzlement and suppression from the Shangguan.As Yiyang Qu was ambushed in Wuling Mountain, almost the entire army was wiped out. In the eyes of many people, the existence of Yiyang soldiers seemed to have become dispensable.

In addition, Wei Yan is not very good at being a human being, so it is inevitable that he will be left out in the cold.

According to Yiyang County, Yiyang military soldiers are not under the rule of Yiyang County, so they are not obliged to bear their baggage, food and payment; while the government of Nanyang County also said that Yiyang military soldiers stationed in Yiyang County, should have Yiyang The county is responsible, but Nanyang County is not responsible for...

Just kick the ball, you kick it over, I kick it over!
Although Wei Yan tried his best to maintain Yiyang's military pawns, it was only barely maintained.

Now, these things are taken over by Deng Ji, so he is naturally familiar with the road.He is familiar with the law and knows how to deal with various relationships.

Don't look at others as being honest, but being honest doesn't mean being a fool.

If Deng Ji didn't know these things, it would be impossible to gain a firm foothold in Jiyang County, let alone gain the attention of the previous county magistrate.

So, early in the morning, Deng Ji took his people to the Dazhai of the Chinese Army.

After Cao Peng followed Tang Ji to perform, he patrolled the camp with him.

Tang Ji nodded, "Not only the younger brother of the clan, but Wei Dubo should be Brother Wei's younger brother."

"You mean..."

"Well, he is the only son of the old military marquis."

No wonder!
Wei Yan took great care of Wei Ping. According to his qualifications, Wei Ping did not have the qualifications to take up the post of Du Bo.Including Tang Ji, there were originally five soldiers in Yiyang.Wei Ping is the youngest and has the shortest time in the army, so it is theoretically impossible for him to be his turn.

No one has any objections to Tang Ji's appointment as Du Bo.

His martial arts skills are only inferior to Wei Yan's, and he has been in the army for the longest time.In the past six years, Tang Ji killed nearly a hundred soldiers, in terms of military merit, of course his name is justified.However, Wei Ping was appointed as Dubo, and the rest of the army did not express dissatisfaction. It seemed that it was a matter of course for him to serve as Dubo.Cao Peng didn't think clearly at first, but now that Tang Ji explained the situation, he immediately understood the mystery.

"Brother Tang, I think Wei Dubo seems to be quite indifferent to General Wei Tun."

If this sentence were changed to someone else, Tang Ji might draw his sword and face each other.

However, Cao Peng is a child, at the age of 14, in Tang Ji's eyes, he is not much different from a doll.

He smiled wryly, seeing no one around, nodded.

"Ah Fu, there are some things you don't understand!" Tang Ji sighed, "During the Battle of Wuling Mountain, Yiyang Qu suffered heavy casualties. Brother Wei was a general at the time and was the vanguard. When the Wuxi barbarians launched an attack, Brother Wei was in the front and was unable to return to help the Chinese army. So the old army marquis died in Wuling Mountain, and his troops entered 200 people, and the entire army was wiped out. Wei Ping did not participate in the war at that time, and belonged to the rear army.

Brother Wei didn't rescue the old Junhou, which made him very dissatisfied.

In fact, Brother Wei wasn't unwilling to rescue him at the time, but... the terrain in Wuling Mountain is complicated, and we were at a disadvantage when we fought with those Wuxi savages.Coupled with the suddenness of the incident, Brother Wei had no time to rescue him.When he broke out from the siege, brother Wei's trilogy also suffered heavy casualties, and he himself almost lost his life.But Wei Ping believed that Brother Wei did it on purpose. "

Cao Peng asked in surprise, "Why? Wei Tun will be seriously injured, and Wei Dubo should understand."

Tang Ji bit his thick lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "After the old soldier Hou Zhan died, someone recommended Wei Ping to take over the Yiyang military soldiers. But the brothers felt that Wei Ping was too young to be responsible The banner of the Uprising Yang Wuzu... Brother Wei is very good to his brothers, and his martial arts skills are high, and his official position is also there. So the brothers support Brother Wei to take over the Yiyang Wuzu... Oh, what are you fighting for? What's there to fight for? Yiyang's military soldiers were severely injured after Wuling Mountain. With just a few people, they couldn't even make up a team.

If it wasn't for these old brothers, Big Brother Wei might have made his fortune long ago and wouldn't need to stay in this half-dead place. "

Tang Ji's last sentence was almost whining.

But Cao Peng heard an unusual meaning from this sentence.

Rubbing his face, he didn't know what to say.Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, let alone such a team that is almost entirely formed by fellow villagers.Where there are people, there will definitely be fights... In this kind of thing, it's really hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

"Ah Fu, don't tell anyone what I just said."

"I know I know!"

Tang Ji grinned innocently, "Originally, at the beginning of last year, Wen Sima from Xiangyang wanted Brother Wei to go over.

But Big Brother Wei couldn't bear to part with these old brothers, so he didn't agree in the end.If it wasn't for us being a burden, Big Brother Wei could at least be a military lord now, more than enough. "

"Wen Sima?"

"Uh, it's Nanyang Sima Wenpin General Wen Zhongye."

This Sima is a local official with a rank ratio of six hundred stones, which is also an extremely important official position.

Cao Peng was stunned. He didn't expect Wenpin to be Sima of Nanyang.

"Okay, I've said so much, so don't say it." Tang Ji stretched out his big palm-like hand with a smile, and rubbed Cao Peng's head, "You are smart, Brother Wei is very optimistic about you. It's just that your bones are too weak, you should eat more meat in the future."

Perhaps, in Tang Ji's simple mind, eating meat is the best way to strengthen the body.

Cao Peng laughed and didn't ask any more questions.

He stood up, looked at the sky, and said softly: "It's getting dark, Deng Jie must be back from there, let's go and have a look."

In the barracks, there are rules in the barracks.

Although Cao Peng has never been a soldier, he also knows some basic habits.

At least here, it is not good for him to call Deng Ji 'brother-in-law' anymore, as that will give people a feeling of Deng Ji's cronyism, which is not conducive to Deng Ji's actions.Therefore, without Deng Ji speaking, Cao Peng took the initiative to change the name of Deng Ji, respectfully calling him 'Deng Jiecong'.

Wei Yan was also satisfied with this.

————————————————————————————————————

"Tang Dubo, Tang Dubo!"

Outside the gate of the camp, a school swordsman hurried over.

Tang Ji recognized that this school swordsman was assigned to Deng Ji's men.

"what's up?"

"Deng Jiecong asked you to find some people and go over to help get things... Hehe, Deng Jiecong brought us a lot of luggage and armor today, as well as the weapons that were just delivered. Now, brothers, you can change these tattered clothes It’s changed! There are too many, and I can’t get them all at once.”

"Deng Jie has done a good job!"

When Tang Ji heard it, he immediately burst into laughter.

It's been almost a year, and the armor and weapons have not been replaced!
The brothers even had to wear last year's winter clothes during the Chinese New Year, which was really shabby.

Tang Ji immediately called the Venerable Master and left in a hurry.But before leaving, he asked Cao Peng to stay in the camp, saying that Cao Peng's thin arms and legs should not be used.

In this regard, Cao Peng did not refuse.

After watching Tang Ji and others leave, he stood between the two wooden poles, stretched his waist, turned his head and walked towards his small tent...

When passing by the big tent, Cao Peng unexpectedly found that Ma Yu came out from behind the big tent.

He looked furtive, though, and seemed careful.Cao Peng hurriedly dodged and hid behind a small tent, watching intently.Seeing no one around, Ma Yu walked to the back of the camp.Most of the Thorny Sun prisoners lived in the row of small tents at the back, so there was nothing strange about it.

But not long after Ma Yu left, he saw a young man coming out from behind the big tent.

At this time, it was dusk, and the light was not bad.

Cao Peng recognized at a glance that the young man was Wei Yan's younger brother Wei Ping, the new governor of Yiyang.

Could it be that he was talking to Ma Yu just now?Logically speaking, Wei Ping didn't need to hide behind people when he was looking for Ma Yu?He is Du Bo, Ma Yu is a pawn, master-slave relationship, why should he be sneaky like this?Cao Peng's eyes were fixed, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

This Wei Ping, what's the matter with Ma Yu?

While he was in doubt, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside the camp.

Cao Peng turned around quickly and saw Wei Yan leading a cavalry army, rushing into the camp at lightning speed.

"Where's Tang Ji?"

Before Wei Yanren got off his horse, he asked loudly.

At the door of the big tent, Wei Ping hurried forward, "Dubo Tang is not here, what's the matter? What happened?"

"Wei Ping, it's just right for you to be here. Immediately find Deng Jiecong and Tang Ji. Also, let all the chiefs come to the big tent to gather."

"Brother, what happened?"

Wei Yan jumped off his horse and said in a deep voice, "Cao Cao has dispatched troops! The morning after tomorrow, we will escort the food and grass to Wancheng!"

Wei Yan didn't hide it deliberately, and his voice was not low.

And Cao Peng stood behind the small tent, listening to it clearly...

In an instant, his body trembled slightly: Cao Cao, have you sent troops?

A flash of light flashed in his mind, he seemed to have caught something, his body trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth subconsciously...
